CALL REPS, EMAIL REPS, MAIL REPS, TELL THEM WE DON'T WANT KOSA

SIGN PETITIONS

WE WILL WIN THIS WITH OUR SOLIDARITY FROM THE ENTIRE INTERNET AS ITS EXISTENCE DEPENDS ON IT.

MANY WILL LOSE THEIR SAFE SPACE, THEIR PLACE OF INFORMATION AND ADVICE FROM OLDER QUEERS, THEY ARE TARGETING US

SO WE WON'T ALLOW IT

I don’t wanna lose anyone WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME

ITS FINE it’s FINE I’ll just PRAY and hope that KOSA doesnt happen

I’m so scared

KOSA update:

For anyone who hasn't seen (me included lol), the verge has put out an article about KOSA and how its not as clear if congress will pass it now as multiple other bills are competing against it and legislators are struggling to decide which to back.

https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/29/24086559/kids-online-safety-act-schatz-tech-groups

One of the proposed bills is this one

congress.gov

Text - S.223 - 117th Congress (2021-2022): Invest in Child Safety Act

Text for S.223 - 117th Congress (2021-2022): Invest in Child Safety Act

In short, instead of making a bunch of tech bros surrogate parents on the internet, instead it would invest a ton of money into actually going after and investigating actual child predators, modernize the cyber tipline, and do research on prevention/ detection programs, among a few other things.

So please, if you're American, you still have time to call up your reps and tell them you're against Kosa, which is good, but giving them suggestions like this bill is better

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME

There's no WAY they're just gonna try and make the whole internet babysit kids rather than actually TARGET THE PEOPLE HARMING THEM or holding parents accountable

If this bill passes I may not be able to post here or on Youtube anymore

I may not be able to talk to my friends on Discord

I'll lose some of the most important people in my life

I'll lose some of the things that make me the happiest

This bill absolutely CANNOT pass, I'm literally begging that this doesn't pass

everybody go to the KOSA Masterpost and FIND A WAY TO HELP. Call your Senators/House reps, email them, reblog posts, spread the word, ANYTHING.

WE CANNOT LET THIS BILL PASS.

GET KOSA TRENDING.

STOP SCROLLING NOW!

AS OF FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, WE GOT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DAY OF DECISION OF THE KOSA BILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE MASS CENSORSHIP ROUND THE INTERNET IF PASSED. OR DOOMSDAY. WE NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CONTRIBUTE. I'M NOT GIVING UP ON YOU ALL.

WE'RE DOWN TO THE WIRE BUT WE CAN'T GIVE UP YET. IF WE GIVE UP, EVERYTHING IS OVER. IF WE DON'T, AT LEAST WE HAVE A CHANCE.

I'M THE ONE WHO SOUNDED THE ALARM, AND I'M NOT GOING TO CURL UP AND DIE YET.
